Of course those of us who can’t physically attend World Youth Day will be on the lookout for ways to participate virtually. We’ll be keeping an eye on those tools and will be sure to share them here as we discover them!

This will be my first WYD – I am traveling with the Boston Deaf Apostolate. I’m very excited that I will be able to rent a smart phone while in RIO – and will be tweeting, blogging, and instagram’ing (is that a word?) daily about my experiences!! I am also very excited and eager to try out all of the technology available — to not only prepare for our trip, but also enhance our time in RIO!!
